If you have corroborating evidence for either date, let me know, please (bill of sale, manual with publishing date, etc.), since I'm attempting to determine which serial number list I have access to is most accurate for Royal, so I can publish a more accurate list.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774432656602082311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-17098127619077580102011-09-08T16:19:09.522-07:002011-09-08T16:19:09.522-07:00Reminds me of my Woody.

Surprised it is 10 years younger - maybe I let a typo slip in so I'll rush off to check. I like the green and blue ones they did too - must've been fun to be in the paintshop watching the finishes develop. Each one must be unique.Rob Bowkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065940710708289511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-21715541200543382072011-09-07T08:36:08.332-07:002011-09-07T08:36:08.332-07:00Lots of character on this one!

This one's gotta be it, though. The collection's gotten out of hand!<br /><br />@ Ted, a HUGE THANKS(!) for the production year info. Nineteen Twenty-eight, huh?
